Importing shapes

I understand how to import a different shape to use to create the word art but do we have to do this every time we want to use a shape that isn't included by default. I can't seem to get mine to stay in. The only way not reimporting it into the programme is to use a word art I've used before, but then when I save it, it overwrites the previous one.ThanksRachael

Hi Ruby! To make it more convenient I recommend you to create a template word art with your custom shape image and duplicate it each time you need a new one. To duplicate your word art select it on your word art page and click the duplicate button at the top panel next to the create button.

Is there a way to import an image and only use a specific shape in uploaded image? Like I'm trying to make an image with a picture and putting the words ONLY in a the shape of the people.Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi SyniBell! Your question is not clear to me. You can import a shape image and use it as a base for your word art. After visualizing words will be placed on non-white space of the shape image by default. Therefore if you need a shape of people you need to make sure that the people silhouette is filled with a non-white color in your shape image.
